Re: LILO-like was: Re: Third draft (was Re: we need a release announcement -- soon)
I have written a tool that installs yaboot (writes the config, copiesfiles...)
as well as configures/writes/copies an Open Firmware script for dual boot
should the user desire to use MacOS and Linux. Currently it is only
implemented in our (Yellow Dog) BETA installer. It's written in Python, I
haven't tried ybin but perhaps it would be of interest to some debian folks. If
you would like the code or perhaps a C version I can arrange that. Just send me
an e-mail.
